Bran

Bran is the outer layer of a grain kernel that is separated during the milling of flour. It is exceptionally rich in dietary fibre, B vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. Wheat bran and oat bran are the most commonly used varieties. In the kitchen, bran is added to baked goods, muesli, yoghurts, porridges or smoothies as a natural source of fibre. Regular consumption supports better digestion, a feeling of fullness and stable blood sugar levels. Bran is a key ingredient in a healthy and balanced diet and a popular addition to wholegrain baking.
